Hi Team,

Hope everyone is well. I wanted to let everone know that Im gonna be in and out on the project. Im in the process of preparing my current house to sell and move to another after we find the one we want. So if you dont hear from me Im not gone its just temporary. I hope to have some down time from house shopping and will put up what I can when I have the time. Till then keep the project moving!:slight_smile:

TEAM- Roll call … Who’s still breathing? :smiley:

Also should mention that due to continued abuse that I don’t have time to keep fixing, the team forum is closed to the public until further notice. Sorry to the non team visitors.


#4746

Heart pills have run out, but that’s ok, got a half-bottle of Brandy downstairs. :smiley:

sllink: Good luck on the house hunting sllink and don’t take no bad deals ( :] ) from realestate agents.

SD: still kicking and knocking my head against the wall. Sorry to hear about the public abuse on the forum.


#4748

Good luck with the housing situation sllink:thumbsup: .


#4749

Thanks guys!

Donshole…any life on your end? :wavey:
check your email for some info on recent changes.

Just have to link the Fuchi again…it looks so cool jumping around. :drool:

Hey SD,

Plenty of life in me. A busy Easter and work has kept me under the radar. But I’ve had a chance to work on the fuchi intro and my concers about the sound clip were unfounded. Hopefully, there’ll be something interesting to upload tomorrow:wip: .

BTW, that strange flip in right front leg of the fuchi clip can be fixed by adjusting the effector rotation/translation reach to 100.


#4751

Doshole- Thanks for updating, look forward to the WIP :wink:


#4752

Hi SD,

Just to show a wip:wip:. I’ve upped my first blocking pass to the folder “FuchiTestAnims” in my ftp area. It’s strangely big (54mb). I seem to have forgotten how to compress clips with audio :banghead: . It’s not particularly exciting. Using the realtime controls with the flipping arms was just not workable, so I’m rethinking them a bit. Lots of work remains to be done on the clip.


#4753

Donshole- Thanks, I’ll have look t it today if at all possible! :wip:

re realtime controls /fliipping, could we talk briefly on MSN or email me to clarify the problem before changes?


#4754

Donshole- hehe…thought this was a FBX…since it’s a AVI clip , already got a chance to look at it. Comments in team forum. :wip:

BTW Just to check you are all aware of changes made recntly…did all the team get the new info on the Team Forum location and logins? :shrug:


#4755

Yup - sure did


#4756

sorry for not replying I`am still here and was thinking of modeling something but I was just waiting untill the end of the school “lol I mean the summer holiday”


#4757

UPDATE-
It’s quiet in here lately, but a lot is slowly progressing behind the curtains. :slight_smile:
Colkai has added the new hands, fixed the rig for FBX and is working on some keying and mocap application. I think Dodgy is in on the LW side to see about extra tweaks once the FBX is final in MB. Colkai can elaborate if he has time.

This is a gif to show a sequence that has the character pulling a heavy wheeled cart. Colkai is still adding the cart atm.


Motion and Deformations all look good Colkai! :buttrock:

Sllink-If you get a sec, could you see about getting the female mechanic and the general to me so we can eventually work them into the tower scenes?
thnx :thumbsup:
PS: hope all is going well on the “hunt” :slight_smile:


#4758

Opps missed it cant login! Help I cant get my dose of Shirowproject status!:scream: :slight_smile:

Hope all is well. House hunting is moving along! Not as fast as Id hoped. I have a vision of a cool 3D studio with large screen monitors and Movie theatre on the side to show the Shirowproject movie! Sigh* I guess I will have to live with my HD set and Shirowproject movie and hope for the best!:thumbsup: . I got your message SD I will up load soon as possible. Missya guys! Hang in there and keep it moving. Catch up with you all soon!


#4759

Thanks Sllink.
Foum info is in your CGT PM box.
Let me know when you get the characters upped. :wink:

Well, I’m ploughing along with the trolley thing.
I can tell you though, It’s a real pain, (quelle surprise!).
I need to really look into a better way of setting this up because as it stands, the trolley/hand motion F-Curves are a mess and way too dense.

Once I’ve got the long-winded way done, and a couple of simple walks, I’m going back to see if I can make a more refined version of this. It’s about time I got more into constraints anyway.

This all said, my hope is, having passed off the imported LW file to Dodgy, I would not be remotely surprised to find he has a very elegant LW solution up and running, his knowledge of this sort of thing far outweighs my own. (…and that’s putting it mildly!) :stuck_out_tongue: :wink:

Working weekend this weekend so will upload my results as they stand on Friday lunchtime GMT for SD to pore over.
